What do handyman services include?

Have some untackled DIY tasks at home that you can’t seem to find time for? Find a highly skilled handyman near you with remarkable customer service by using Airtasker. 

Here's a list of some handyman services you might find useful:

Handyman service - general handyman

Start chipping away at that growing list of odd jobs around the house. By hiring a general labour handyman or a small jobs handyman near you, you can get several things done expertly and efficiently. Request your Tasker to help you with tasks like pulling up carpets, replacing light bulbs, or hanging shelves so you can focus on finishing work, running your business, or taking care of your kids.

Handyman service - indoor installations and repairs

Whether you need assistance with installing newly bought homeware or fixing old ones to avoid purchasing replacements, you can hire a handyman to cover for you. Have them work on installing curtain rods and blinds, fitting the kitchen sink, setting up pet doors, and even wallpapering. If a home security system is what you need installed, you can book a separate service to make this happen.

A handyman can also help with soundproofing a room. If you're wondering about soundproofing cost, pricing varies based on materials, room size, and labour—get a quote to find the best option for your budget.

Handyman service - outdoor installations and repairs

Your outdoor setup tends to take a beating, from heavy rains or the messy aftermath of kids playing. Keep your backyard in top shape by getting outdoor items fixed up right. Find a handyman near you who can tackle tasks like setting up your shed foundation, patching up windows, getting your mower back in action, building a garden shed within your budget, and installing some outdoor blinds.

Need extra privacy? You can also have a handyman screen on your porch to create a more secluded and comfortable outdoor space.

Handyman service - bricklaying and building work

If you’re in need of basic home construction, go for handyman services provided by Taskers with ample bricklaying and building experience. These experts can help you build garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or even construct a chicken coop. To maintain these areas, you can also hire Taskers to perform gardening work or brick cleaning as needed.

Handyman service - wall hanging

Want to free up space by mounting your TV or bicycle on the wall? Get a handyman for any wall hanging needs to ensure your furnishings are level and fitted securely. From picture frames and mirrors to heavier electrical items like dryers, count on your Tasker to do a thorough job. Need help with your cable TV wiring? You can also book a service for this on Airtasker.

Handyman service - furniture repair

When booking a repairman for furniture fixes, be specific about the item that needs fixing to make sure you hire the right people. For example, handymen with carpentry experience may be suitable if you’re looking to have your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed repaired. On the other hand, hire a tradie with electrical experience for fixing ceiling fans or digital fitness equipment.

Handyman service - home maintenance

Keeping your home in top-notch condition is a breeze when you have access to regular home maintenance services near you. A local handyman can help with cleaning the gutter, pressure-washing driveways and paths, resealing windows and doors, and working on minor roof repairs. Regular home maintenance can prevent small issues from turning into costly problems, keeping your place looking schmick and running smoothly.

Install 2 security cameras “Ring” brand

$150

Middle Park VIC 3206, Australia

13th Feb 2025

We would like a reliable and competent tradie to install 2 x security cameras. They are “Ring Spotlight Cam Pro solar” - there is a camera and separate solar panel for each unit. See photos of surface it needs to be screwed into - either a wooden post or bricks. So you will need a good drill, maybe several types of drills for bricks or wood. You will also need a ladder - we don’t have a big one. We would like you to come this weekend please. Manufacturer includes hardware - security screw for metal collar, mounting screws, wall anchors. Will also need your help to pick the best mounting spot for optimal camera angle and viewing (I have the Ring ap to see camera picture). Plenty of free parking in the street - this won’t be a problem.

Justin was fantastic. Very knowledgeable with camera angles. Very patient, helped me install Ring on my phone. Highly recommend

Remove and reinstall wall shelving

$350

Northcote VIC 3070, Australia

11th Feb 2025

I need this wall of book shelving taken down from a shop and then reinstalled in two parts in the shop next door. ( half of one wall half on the other) The shelves themselves unhook easily which I can do, but need someone to remove the frame carefully and then reinstall. As it’s a working shop, the removal part needs to be completed before 945am, but the reinstall can be done after that. Ideally done this Thursday or Friday.

Great to work with, especially when faced with some setbacks. Was quick to get the job done and very thorough!
